About Us

We are a group of people that believe in America's Craft Brewers. We want to support the American owned and made Craft Brewers. We love the "TRUE" Craft
Brewers and how they are determined to share their beers and their stories. The American Craft Brewers are typically a family or individual that started their breweries in tiny garages,
kitchens, or any other place they could brew. They are passionate about their beer, and on a quest to produce the highest quality of beer.

The American Craft Brewer has overcome many obstacles. At Nebraska Craft Beer, we strive to do our part in Nebraska by voicing the passion of America's Craft
Beers. When we are not sampling American Craft Beers, we will sample and promote fine "craft" import beers. Many of these types of beers are the foundation and renaissance of todays American Craft
Beers.

To all of the fine brewers, we salute and thank you.

Now in Nebraska!!

So What Is A Craft Brewer?

A craft brewer is any brewery that
brews 'craft beers' right? It's not exactly that simple.

The Craft Brewers Association defines a
Craft Brewer as a small, independant, and traditional brewer.

Small is defined as a brewer with an annual production of 6
million barrels of beer or less. Beer production is attributed to a brewer according to the rules of alternating proprietorships. Flavored malt beverages are not considered beer for purposes of this
definition.

Independent is defined as a brewer with lessthan 25% of the craft brewery being owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by an alcoholic beverage industry
member, who is not themselves a craft brewer.

Traditional is defined as a brewer who has either an all
malt flagship (the beer which represents the greatest volume among that brewers brands) or has at least 50% of its volume in either all malt beers or in beers which use adjuncts to enhance, rather
than lighten flavor.

So basically, Craft Brewers and small with the hallmark of
their brewery being innovation.Theyincorporate historic styles with unique twists and develop new styles that have no
precedent. They produce beers withtraditional ingredients like malted barley; interesting and sometimes non-traditional
ingredients are often added for distinctiveness. Like coriander, chocolate, or juniper berries.

Craftbrewers tend to be very involved in their communities through philanthropy, product donations, volunteerism, and sponsorship of events and
havea distinctive, individualistic approach to connecting with their customers. Theymaintain integrity by what they brew and their general independence, which is free from interest by a non-craft brewers like Mega-Wall
Street & Foreign owned breweries.

The majority of Americans actually live within 10 miles of
a craft brewer! Who knew?!

American craft brewerscontributed $55.7 billion to the U.S. economy in 2014. The figure is derived from
the total impact of beer brewed by craft brewers as it moves through the three-tier system (breweries, wholesalers and retailers), as well as all non-beer products like food and merchandise that
brewpub restaurants and brewery taprooms sell.

The industry also provided
more than 424,000 jobs, with more than 115,000 jobs directly at breweries and brewpubs, including serving staff at brewpubs.

In October of 2015, the number
of brewers passed 4,000………The surge of consumers leaving the mega brewers continues at a rapid pace. The craft brewers continue to drive their market share over 9% of the
market.
